📌 Important Adoption Information All of our dogs are currently living in **private shelters or foster homes in South Korea**. Once an adoption is approved, dogs will travel to the United States **through legal and fully compliant international transport procedures**. Video calls are available prior to adoption, and adopters can communicate **in real time** with our rescue team through official organizational and app-based messaging channels throughout the process. --- 🐾 Basic Information **Name:** Harin **Gender / Spay Status:** Female / Spayed **Estimated Age:** Approximately 2–3 years old **Weight:** 11 kg (about 24 lbs) **Breed:** Jindo Mix 🩷 Rescue Story Harin was found with her puppies, despite having an injury to her right hind leg. Due to unknown circumstances, she had been trying to protect and raise her babies in extremely poor conditions at a city shelter. Out of her four puppies, she tragically lost one, but she successfully raised the remaining three—who are now bigger than their mother. Many people were deeply moved by the sight of Harin sleeping lightly in front of her puppies’ kennel, exhausted yet devoted. Just before facing euthanasia, she was rescued in a dramatic last moment. She is now recovering in a foster home, learning how to receive love and build trust with people. She is not only a survivor, but a remarkable super mom. --- 🌿 Temperament & Behavior Harin is shy at first but very gentle. With calm and polite dogs, she greets cautiously by sniffing and observing. Dogs who are overly energetic or pushy can make her feel uncomfortable or frightened. She has not yet been exposed to cats. Based on her personality—never approaching people or dogs first—it is expected that she would coexist in a quiet, “mutual respect” kind of way rather than actively engaging. With children, she is kind and respectful. When kids approach her, she gently sniffs and greets them, showing no fear or aggression. 🚽 Potty Habits * **Urination:** Hybrid (indoor & outdoor), with a preference for outdoors * **Defecation:** Outdoor only She has very clean and consistent bathroom habits. --- 🏡 Personality & Daily Life At some point, everyone around her naturally began calling Harin “the lady” or “the princess.” 👑 People who meet her all say the same thing: *“She is incredibly gentle and calm.”* She may seem a bit cat-like at first, but once she opens her heart, she reveals a very affectionate, almost dog-cat-like charm. In the mornings, when greeted, her ears flop like a seal’s and her tail spins enthusiastically like a helicopter. When she feels uncomfortable or dislikes a situation, she does not react defensively—she simply turns her head away or quietly removes herself. She enjoys brushing, warming herself in front of a heater, tug toys, and fetch-style games. She is soft, polite, and emotionally intelligent. --- 💛 Ideal Home Harin would thrive in a calm, patient home that respects her gentle boundaries and allows her to build trust at her own pace. She is a wonderful companion for those who appreciate quiet affection and emotional depth. --- 💙 Adoption Fee Information The adoption fee **already includes all essential costs**, such as: * International transportation * Customs clearance and export documentation * Medical care (spay surgery, vaccinations, health certificate, deworming, etc.) For this reason, **we kindly ask that inquiries regarding cost breakdowns or fee negotiations be avoided**. Your understanding and support directly enable us to continue rescuing dogs like Harin and giving them a second chance at life.

Story
🩷 Rescue Story Yeonji was first noticed near my home on two separate occasions after escaping from her leash. Each time, she appeared timid but showed strong affection toward people—wagging her tail, staying close, and following me quietly. Knowing where she lived, I walked her back to her home and politely asked the owner if he had lost his dog. The owner was a man in his nineties, living alone in a severely dilapidated wooden house, and he had noticeable difficulty communicating. Although Yeonji had willingly followed me until then, she immediately ran away the moment she saw him. Assuming she had simply wanted to stay outside longer, I gently took her leash and handed her back. The owner then tied her to an extremely short chain. Feeling uneasy, I stayed nearby instead of returning home. Shortly after, I heard Yeonji screaming. I rushed back and witnessed the owner striking her repeatedly with an iron rod while she lay on the ground crying in pain. As it was late at night, I intervened verbally and stayed outside the property for some time to ensure the abuse stopped. The following day, I returned in daylight and, with the owner’s permission, removed Yeonji from the property and secured her safety. She has been living in foster care ever since. 🌿 Temperament & Behavior Yeonji has limited experience with cats, but in brief encounters she showed no aggression and little interest. She is highly social with other dogs. During first meetings, she engages calmly through sniffing and exploration without any aggressive behavior. She is well suited for a multi-dog household. With people, Yeonji is initially shy and does not approach strangers right away. However, within about one to two hours, she relaxes significantly and begins to show affection. She is particularly fearful of adult men and may bark once or twice from a distance. This behavior is fear-based and not aggressive. 🚶 Walking & Daily Life When first rescued, Yeonji was very timid on walks and stayed close behind her handler. As she settled in, her young and energetic nature began to emerge, and she now shows some leash pulling. She is currently in leash training and continues to improve. Her shedding level is moderate, around 6 out of 10. She has no known food allergies and eats well without being picky. 🏡 Habits & Training Yeonji defecates exclusively outdoors. She may urinate indoors, but when a designated potty pad is provided, she uses it appropriately. Occasionally, she may mistake white rugs or similar items for a potty pad. She may whine briefly when someone leaves the house, but this does not last long and she shows no other signs of separation anxiety. She barks only occasionally when startled or frightened, such as hearing unfamiliar noises or someone suddenly entering her space. These barks are brief and non-aggressive. 💛 Likes & Personality Yeonji is extremely affectionate with people, especially with her caregiver. She enjoys playing with other dogs and likes toys she can hold and manipulate with her front paws. She does not have strong dislikes, though unfamiliar objects or situations can make her cautious at first. She is currently living in a foster home and has been with her foster family for approximately two months.

Story
🩷 Rescue Story Wory was originally rescued from a dog meat farm by another organization and later transferred to "Jeongeup City Shelter" in South Korea. Tragically, she was placed on the euthanasia list there. Just before it was too late, she was rescued and given another chance at life. Since moving into foster care, she has shown nothing but kindness and gratitude, revealing an incredibly gentle and loving heart. 🌿 Temperament & Behavior Worry is exceptionally gentle with other dogs. She gets along very well with them and is so mild-mannered that she sometimes gets pushed around without reacting. She is truly sweet-natured and non-confrontational. However, she does not enjoy dogs that approach her rudely or with overly intense behavior. She absolutely adores people—both adults and children alike. She often approaches first, offering affection and charming everyone she meets with her warm and loving personality. Her compatibility with cats has not yet been tested. 🚶 Walking & Daily Life Worry walks well on leash and enjoys taking her time to sniff during walks. She responds reliably when her name is called and stays engaged with her handler. Her shedding level is moderate, around 5 out of 10. She has a mild chicken allergy. While she eats well, she prefers her kibble mixed with something extra such as beef or sweet potato and may not eat plain kibble on its own. 🏡 Habits & Training Worry does very well with both indoor and outdoor potty habits, using indoor pads reliably (100%) and also going potty outdoors about 90% of the time. She truly enjoys baths and grooming and remains relaxed throughout. She does not have separation anxiety and stays calm when left alone. She may bark briefly when people arrive, purely out of excitement and happiness, but otherwise she is very quiet. She rides well in the car with no motion sickness. 💛 Likes & Personality Worry loves people more than anything—even more than treats. Human attention is her greatest joy. She prefers polite canine friends and feels uncomfortable around dogs that are overly pushy or lack manners. She is currently living in a foster home.
